Vacation Bible School 2024

VBS 2024

SS. Isidore and Maria Parish hosts its annual Vacation Bible School (VBS) this summer from Monday, June 24  – Fri., June 28 between 9 a.m. and 12 noon.

This year at VBS, your child is invited to Come to the Table! It’s an opportunity for children from age 4 through Grade 5 to learn that everyone is welcome at God’s table and hear how Jesus spent a lot of time eating and talking with unexpected people.

When you eat with Jesus, anything can happen! The five Bible stories for the week show Jesus eating with unexpected people, providing food for a crowd, demonstrating humility, and extending welcome and forgiveness. Through worship and drama, Bible study, art and science projects, and active games, children are welcomed to taste and share at God’s table, where there is always enough!

Come to the Table invites children to see that God loves and welcomes all people and challenges them to share that same love and hospitality in their everyday lives.

Your child will make new friends, sing fun songs, watch dramatic presentations of the Bible stories, play active games, do art projects and science explorations, and dig into the Bible.

The fee is $30 per child, with families also asked to donate food items for the Glastonbury Food Bank.
